Chapter 105 Reluctant Ambition

"My Lord, I really want to go to the battlefield." Moved, Tianxuan said to Fusu sincerely, "Our Great Qin was founded on military power, and famous generals have emerged in every dynasty. Sima Cuo, Bai Qi, Wei Ran, etc., all wrote their own legends with their outstanding military exploits. Although I am young, I still envy them."

[Riding on the battlefield, commanding thousands of troops. Even lying on the lap of a beautiful woman while drunk, holding a sword to kill people while awake, this is the dream of a passionate man! ]

Brush and pull!

Their eyes met, and even in the dim environment, Fusu could still see the passion in Tianxuan's eyes, and knew that his friend was not lying.

"Then, I will wait for Brother Tianxuan to achieve great success on the battlefield!"

Since Zheng Ge sent Tianxuan to Fusu, Tianxuan has held some respect for Fusu's status, but he is not as flattering as others. Fusu, who has been under great pressure since birth, also likes to get along with Tianxuan. The two are nominally monarchs and ministers, but in fact they are more like friends.

Seeing that Tianxuan was determined to go to the battlefield, Fusu was worried about Tianxuan's safety, but he could only send him his blessings.

"Young Master, just open your eyes and wait and see!"

Thinking that he was about to step into the battlefield where blood and fire were flying and life was devouring, Tianxuan's blood boiled and he made a solemn promise to Fusu.

…………

Moonlit night, Xianyang city.

The magnificent city under the night sky is cold and solemn, yet a chilling murderous aura is brewing.

There was no other reason. One hundred thousand Qin troops were about to march to Yan State under the leadership of Generals Wang Jian and Xin Sheng. Although the army had not yet entered the city, the army, numbering as many as one hundred thousand, had already begun to gather in the Lantian camp outside Xianyang. In addition, the food, fodder, and weapons needed by the army all needed to be dispatched in Xianyang City.

The city of Xianyang was inevitably disturbed by the murderous aura, making the entire city unusually quiet and peaceful every night.

Bang!

The residence of the Right Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty - Changping Jun Xiong Qi.

It was dark, and the lights in Changping Jun's residence were off, like most buildings in Xianyang, and he fell into a sweet dream. Only the study room at the deepest part of the residence, hidden by lush trees, was still lit.

In the study, candles emit bright luster and fall on the antique bookshelf. On the bookshelf, thread-bound books with the scent of ink are neatly placed together. After the birth of paper, it became popular in the Qin State. The dignitaries ordered people to purchase printed thread-bound books to replace the heavy bamboo and wooden slips.

Changping Jun, who was the right prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, was naturally no exception.

At this quiet moment in the night, the gaunt and dignified Changping Jun, with his beard, was full of anger. In front of Changping Jun, the Chu general who came to Zhao secretly from Chu, Wu'an Jun Xiang Yan, threw the teacup beside him to the ground, making a crisp sound.

"Yan Dan is such a waste!"

Changping Jun did not care about Xiang Yan's rude behavior of usurping the throne, and vented his anger in front of Xiang Yan.

"For this plan to assassinate Qin, we made careful calculations and found out all the guards around Ying Zheng. We even used the Du Kang map of Yan State and Fan Yuqi's head as bait, but we failed in the final stage of the assassination!" At the end, a hint of cold murderous intent flashed across Changping Jun's eyes.

It makes one wonder if Yan Dan would be strangled to death if he were here. Xiang Yan did not say anything after hearing what Changping Jun said, but from his expression, it can be seen that this is what he was thinking.

In order for the plan to assassinate Qin to succeed, an alliance including important figures such as Qin's Right Prime Minister Changping Jun Xiong Qi, Chu's Wu'an Jun Xiang Yan, Yan's Prince Dan, and the farmer's hero Tian Guang, carefully planned for several years.

A year ago, when Zheng Ge was on his way to Handan City, the remnant forces of Zhao State, led by Canjian, Feixue and Changkong, attacked and killed him. From the beginning, their intention was not to kill Zheng Ge, but to use those people as pathfinders to test the strength of the guards around Zheng Ge.

Once the assassination plan succeeds, Changping Jun will use his position as the right prime minister of Qin to create chaos in the base of Qin, Guanzhong, and hopefully trigger another "Ji Jun Rebellion". At that time, he will push the four countries of Wei, Chu, Qi and Yan to unite and attack Qin, and invite Li Mu to be the commander-in-chief. Even if he cannot break through Hangu Pass, it will be enough to seize all the territories of Qin outside Hangu Pass.

By then, Han and Zhao will surely rise again and once again become the six eastern countries.

Under internal and external troubles, even if the Qin State would not perish, it would most likely become like the Qi State after Yue Yi's attack on Qi, severely damaged and no longer able to move eastward.

However, all these plots failed due to the failure of the assassination attempt on Qin.

Thinking of the collapse of their grand plan, even though Changping Jun and Xiang Yan were both well-mannered old foxes, they were still angry.

"It's no use saying this now."

After venting the pent-up anger in his heart, as an old fox without even eyelashes, Changping Jun stopped his meaningless rage and focused on the world again.

"Qin general Wang Jian is about to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Yan. With the Dukang area in hand and a legitimate reason for the attack, Yan is no match for the Qin army. Wu'an Jun, please help me pass a message to Yan Dan, asking him to preserve his strength as much as possible and prepare enough sparks for future revival."

"Here."

Changping Jun was the eldest son of King Kaolie of Chu and the elder brother of the current King of Chu, Fuchu. Although Changping Jun had never lived on the land of Chu since the day he was born, and had never been canonized by Chu, Changping Jun firmly controlled the dominant position in his relationship with Xiang Yan. Xiang Yan had no complaints about this.

After receiving the order, Xiang Yan raised his thick and dark eyebrows and looked at Changping Jun in confusion.

Changping Jun smiled bitterly, "Wu'an Jun, you must be wondering why you should pass on such a small matter?"

"It's very simple! After the assassination, Tian Guang has become a wanted criminal of the Qin State. If I come into contact with him, I will be discovered. At this critical juncture when the army is about to go out, I must hide myself, so as not to be discovered by Ying Zheng that I have a connection with the 'rebel' in his eyes and expose myself!"

At the end of the conversation, a hint of sarcasm appeared in Changping Jun's eyes. However, underneath the thick sarcasm, there was more sadness from the bottom of his heart.

"Your Majesty is absolutely right." Xiang Yan thought about it, acknowledged that what Changping Jun said was true, and nodded in agreement.

"Although the plan to assassinate Qin has failed." After a pause, Changping Jun swept away the dejection on his face, his eyes released a bright light, and he said word by word, "But the contest between us and Ying Zheng has not really begun. The next plan will definitely succeed!"

"Hehehe!"

At the end of his speech, Changping Jun laughed out loud, and the sinister laughter echoed in the study, which was extremely strange. When it fell into Xiang Yan's ears, this experienced warrior was so frightened that he felt cold all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

tread!tread!tread!
After a long time, when Changping Jun's laughter was about to die down, crisp footsteps were heard outside the study, coming from far away and gradually falling into the ears of Changping Jun and Xiang Yan, causing the expressions of the two of them to change slightly at the same time.
